I applied for ILR for my wife and daughter as the spouse and child dependant of a BC at the beginning of July.

On the 1st September received the Biometric letter for my daughter.

So far, nothing for my wife, 10 days later!

Should I be worried?

UPDATE : So it's now the 12th and STILL no letter. My wife is panicking big time. Is she just being impatient or might there be a problem? I just want to calm her nerves! Is there a number/email address we could maybe use just to ask if the biometric letter has been sent? If it's lost in the post, then it's needs resending. And if it hasn't been sent yet, at least we know to sit tight.

Thanks for the help!
I think, you should call the enquiry number provided in the biometric letter of your daughter and tell this, they will advice you accordingly. I received wrong biometric letter in my case as well and sorted it by calling the enquiry number.

If you arrived in Oct 2010, on what basis do you plan to apply? You need to provide more information i.e. your current status and history.

Hi, I think the best thing for you is to prepare the documents and look to book a date with the PEO within the 28 days of your expiry.

UPDATE : just spoke to someone at the enquiry line.

Letter was sent out at the end of August already!

So, lost in the post?

Anyway, they have sent a request for it to be resent.

Bit of a worry really. What if we hadn't called and asked?

Anyway, will update as and when.

Thanks.

PS I hope this doesn't cause problems with regard to the 15 day rule for submission of your biometric data if they sent the original letter then and we are now approaching that expiry date!!!

Good, the 15day expiry stops as soon as they start the process of resending so,don't worry. But the resent letters take about 2weeks to arrive, I still don't know why everything takes so long with them!!

Hi guys,

some info for you. My lawyers had no more special numbers to call that thoe which you can call yourselves. Get it touch with your MP's office. they have a more direct route in to the UKBA. they can put way more pressure on than you or your lawyers can.

All documents get posted to Sheffield. Here they take payment. Once payment has been taken the application get sent to a Liverpool office. this is the key part where they assess your application and decide whether to approve or deny. This team works within out any direct contact other than receiving faxes or emails asking for expidition of certain cases. Nobody has phone contact with them (well almost nobody)

Once approval has been gained the BRP cards are then printed in Bristol. BRP cards are couriered to the given address so often beats the second class recorded package containing your passport and documents of proof handed in.

Good luck.

Get it touch with your MP's office as they are your best bet to getting things done quicker.

They give you a receipt of payment, and then send the biometric data eletronically to HO.

That's it! Just have to sit back and wait for the approval letter.

If your spouse visa expires in Jan 2013, then you cannot apply on 22nd October 2012. You need to apply 28 days before the expiry date of your spouse visa.

If your spouse visa expires on the 28th Jan 2013, then you can apply from the 1st of Jan 2013 till the 28th Jan 2013. The reason I am saying you can apply on the 28th is because the UKBA takes the date of the postal stamp as the date of the application.

Do you mean your wife will be accompanying you to the PEO as a companion for support ? I don't think the online form has an option to notify the UKBA. Why would the UKBA want to know this ? You can take a bus load of people if you wish, but after reaching the PEO, you need to follow the rules.

Also, posting in CAPS means YOU ARE SCREAMING in internet etiquette.

There you go, others have answered your question. I did not take into consideration the 2 year period of your spouse visa.

Hi just an info. as I was informed by someone that more you try to contact HO by various means (such as MP, etc.) to push your application more they will delay it. Don't know how much of it is true or false!!

I doubt

Post by SouthLondon » Fri Sep 14, 2012 10:25 am

It would be encouraging if they even bothered to look at correspondence. My guess would be that it is false and that they put complaints next to the pile (or bin) of unprocessed applications and go for tea.
